Jordan newspaper
Does anyone remember the Jordan leader? Published weekly from 1927-1972.
I was fortunate to pick up the Jordan Leader 1949 which is a hard-bound book that has every issue of the Jordan Leader in 1949. It's really interesting because for those that do not know the Jordan Fall Festival began in 1949.
Maybe we can get some Jordanites from www.Classmates.com to post on this blog.
Thanks to Dave and John the blog has been interesting.

The green is beginning to show
It looks and feels like Spring has arrived. The flowers are popping up all around. This is a wonderful time to take a walk along the CanalWay Trail (Original Erie Canal Towpath) through the Village. You'll get to see the many birds that have returned from the South, tons of native plants popping up...oh and you'll get some exercise. Park right on North Main Street and enjoy an outdoor stroll through history. If you take some photos please share them with us to post.

Views of Jordan...
What do you think about the different views of Jordan?
1) In the rain? Is the village romantic? I think mysterious.
2) In the snow? I see Jordan as old fashioned when it's covered in snow.
3) A sunny, hot August day? Lazy? Does the village look like a canal village in the summer with boats navigating east and west?
4) On an autumn day? Jordan looks like a field of corn waiting to be harvested.
Share your thoughts.
By the way today in Jordan it is pouring rain, kind of warm but really dreary...........and mysterious. Do you think there might be some scary stories about Jordan?

Walking tour..
There is a plan for a self-guided walking tour in and around the Village of Jordan. Partial funding was through a federal grant however the funds for the balance have not been obtained yet. The plans are still in place. The hope is that we can obtain full funding. With the current economic climate in the country and New York State it isn't likely money will come through this year.
The tour will follow along the Canalway Trail, swing by several historic structures in the village. The hard part of creating such a trail is that Jordan has so many historic sites. The committee had to pick and choose which ones to include, not an easy job.
